Small cell lung cancer enters the era of precision medicine

Cancer Cell. 2021 Mar 8;39(3):297-299. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2021.02.002. Epub 2021 Feb 11.

Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Gay et al. describe a molecular classification of small cell lung cancers and extend prior studies that highlight the potential for personalized treatments. Notably, they identify a new "inflamed" subtype that may emerge following acquired chemoresistance but which may become more susceptible to immunotherapy.
